This includes helping the salespeople look at all the options for the applications and understand the advantages and disadvantages so the sales team can put a strong value proposal forward.
  • Attend the weekly sales meeting to communicate above to the sales team, listen to the opportunities and challenges salespeople are having or may be busy with where the product manager can offer support and advice to help secure the opportunity, and then share this info with the supply and pull the supplier in where needed to improve the company’s chances.
  • Have a monthly meeting with the service manager looking after relevant product ranges to ensure we are up to date with any product issues and problems even if the product manager is not directly involved with the resolution.
